Therapy That Goes Beyond Symptom Management
People come to therapy for many reasons. Some are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships, attention, or major life changes. Others may function well in many areas of life but feel stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how they want to move forward.
Our approach to therapy is integrative. Rather than applying the same technique to every person, treatment is informed by the individual, their goals, the concerns bringing them to therapy, and the clinical approaches most appropriate for their needs.
Humanistic & Existential Therapy
Humanistic and existential approaches focus on the whole person rather than viewing someone primarily through the lens of symptoms or diagnosis. Therapy emphasizes self-understanding, authenticity, personal responsibility, relationships, and the individual’s capacity for growth and meaningful change.
This approach can also provide space to explore deeper questions involving identity, meaning and purpose, freedom and choice, uncertainty, isolation, mortality, and the direction of one’s life. Rather than focusing solely on reducing symptoms, humanistic and existential therapy can help individuals better understand themselves, clarify what matters to them, and develop a more intentional and meaningful way of living.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) is an evidence-based form of cognitive behavioral therapy commonly used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related concerns. ERP involves gradually and intentionally facing situations, thoughts, sensations, or uncertainties that trigger distress while reducing the compulsive behaviors or rituals typically used to obtain relief.
Through repeated practice, individuals can develop a greater ability to tolerate anxiety and uncertainty without relying on compulsions. Treatment is collaborative and individualized, with exposures developed at an appropriate pace based on each person’s symptoms, goals, and readiness.
